I am 900 dollars lighter in my wallet, but I have my truck back. I quick ate some lunch and now I am off with the dogs. It's been a week for them, I am sure they'll be jumping in the air with excitement! See ya in a bit...

We are back from errands. Now time to start the bed projects. Son has left for a little bit to take the kids to the park. It is a gorgeous day...blue skies, bright sun, temps in the 50's with no wind. It could be like this every day and I would love it!

I am enjoying a late cup of coffee while hubby reacquaints himself with the log splitter.

Nan, we decided to just go with a sealer to let the color of the bed shine through. It's spruce so it's very light. I am a big fan of natural wood....not so much a fan of plastic or metallic. To each their own.

We also got some chalkboard paint to use on the cubby area underneath each loft.

We just finished moving the "beds" from the front hall to the the dining room...750 lbs....and then unpacking one loft to be sure of what we had. Then, cos our backs and feet weren't hurting enough, we decided to split some firewood. So we hauled and split a bit of that, and then I cried "Uncle!" The ole bod will only do so much in one day.

Skywalker is in doggie heaven. He thinks all the firewood is his to chew on, and is absolutely fixated on hubby's work gloves. I can see much time will be spent in his "collar of shame."

We have a date with son to watch "The Two Towers" beside a nice big fire tonight. He said his "friend" may come over with her 2 tonight but that she is not staying for the movie.

Time to sit and sip and let my back unkink.

Everything went very smooth with the move, thanks to all your warm fuzzy vibes.

I got up at 6:30 and ate breakfast, and then sat down with my coffee and tried to get on line, but they had already set up the transfer with my internet and I could not get on line, so I got up and loaded up my truck with my receivers, TV, computer, router, & modem and headed over here.

The DISH tech arrived at about 8:15.

I was shocked to say the least.

I went and got my helper, and a truck, and we moved everything in two trips. We had it all moved by 2:00, returned the truck, got a cheeseburger for lunch, and then I took my helper home, and I spent the rest of the day unpacking, and went back over to the old place and started cleaning it. I'll go back and finish it tomorrow.

I had Baby with me for the whole thing. She was so excited.

I hope everyone had a great day.

Ana congrats on getting your ride back.

L4L if you wanted more to do you could have come over.
